Musk Says Goodbye to Trump (But Not Too Much): "It's Not the End of Doge, But the Beginning, I'll Continue to Help Trump"

“ Elon is one of the greatest entrepreneurs in the world ,” said Donald Trump in the Oval Office to greet the owner of X, SpaceX and Tesla, after his appointment to the US administration. “ Elon is fantastic! He will always be with us and help us every day, ” said The Donald, greeting the richest man in the world who after 135 days leaves the special assignment in his government.

The American president praised the billionaire for his work at the Department of Government Efficiency , the Doge. “It will take years to rebuild the system but we have started,” added the tycoon, who also specified how Musk has brought a “ colossal change ” in the “old management” of government affairs in Washington. “The Doge has installed brilliant people with an engineering mindset and incredible talent in computer science,” assured the head of the White House.

The president then listed all the savings in federal spending achieved thanks to the action of the Doge led by Musk, who on Wednesday announced the end of his experience in the Administration (slightly ahead of the six months expected). "The federal cuts will become permanent," the Commander in Chief specified.

“Elon will go back and forth, the Doge is his creature,” the tycoon continued, handing the billionaire “the key to the White House” which he also gave to Benyamin Netanyahu in 2020.

For his part, Elon Musk, in his uniform - with a black cap, this time without the words 'Make America Great Again' but with 'The Dogefather' (from 'The Godfather') on his black T-shirt - assured that his exit is not "the end" of the Department and that he will remain "advisor and friend" to Trump. The tech magnate said he is willing to continue to give advice to President Trump "whenever he wants" , even if he leaves the leadership of the Department. "I hope so" Trump concluded, sitting at his desk.

The only tense moment was when a reporter asked Musk to comment on the New York Times article about his drug use. Visibly irritated, he not only did not respond but also accused the prestigious newspaper of “writing hoaxes, like the one about Russiagate.”
